Rise and Know

"There will be moments in life when growing into yourself will look like outgrowing others." - Alex Elle

Authenticity takes sacrifice.⁠

It takes giving up the need for others to accept and approve of you. You get to choose. You get to question. You get to create your own beliefs.⁠

It takes giving up the people, places, and things that do not reflect or embrace you in the fullness of who you are.⁠

It takes the courage to walk away from the relationships that are not in service of your own growth.

And it takes courage to risk the consequences that society holds for loving yourself whole and being vulnerable.

This process isn't easy and it can be oh so painful. Do it anyway because it is WHO YOU ARE

Don't go another day denying yourself of YOU. Joy and freedom lie on the other side.⁠
